Combi Savona TS/PM - Ocean Standard Stroller

This is our first stroller since our 9 month old grew out of his carseat/universal carrier. Until recently I've been pretty happy with it. It's got a lot of good features: large basket, safety bar with tray for baby, cup holder for adult, full recline, adjustable handlebar, lightweight and rather easy to steer, fold and carry. However, the thing that initially bothered me is trully a PROBLEM! The straps are poorly designed. They don't tighten enough for my son and he's not a small baby. The other day, he was in the upright position and someone dropped something in front of us. I didn't see it and stopped short when we hit it. My son flew forward, the seat pulled with him(!!!) and his face hit the tray. I had the straps as tight as they would go. The seat SHOULD NOT move with him. I got this stroller because for the money I could spend it seemed the best. It has some great features, but it's not worth the risk to my son. I'll be looking for something else.

I purchased the Combi Savona hoping it would be my all-in-one stroller - light weight for travel, small to fit in my trunk, universal for use with any car seat, and fully reclining, so it can be used from newborn to 40lbs. The Combi is all these things. HOWEVER, the flimsy back of the stroller cannot be locked into position and the padding is attached with velcro. Even when strapped in snuggly using the 5-point harness (and several frustrating adjustment straps), my 22lb 6 month old can pull himself forward by the snack tray, pulling the cushion and the seat back forward. This causes my son to slide around in the seat. The Combi is unsafe as a stand-alone stroller. And, Combi will not return my calls for a refund (poor customer service).

I was looking for a new stroller to replace my citisport stroller and the Savona TS has it all and much much more. It's nice having everything that a bigger stroller offers but having it be lightweight and easy to use for those quick trips to the mall or park or to take with you on vacation. With three kids almost everything has to be quick, easy and ready for anything. And sometimes that means that my 10 month old might have to take his nap in the stroller :). My husband loves it too. It's just right for our family!
